The 2017 challenge…

After last May’s very successful Hadrian’s Wall Walk, we have decided to up the challenge for next year. So we’re heading to the west coast of Scotland to hike the West Highland Way.

The West Highland Way is a 154km (96mile) hike. It is unquestionably Britain’s most spectacular long-distance walk, and an exhilarating challenge – taking you from the outskirts of Glasgow to Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak via stunning and truly wild mountain scenery.

After starting at the edge of Glasgow the walk heads along the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, with the full grandeur of the Highlands being revealed along the way. By Rannoch Moor you areinto the barren wilderness, then climbing the Devil’s Staircase above Glencoe, and finally walking through the classic Highland scenery to reach Fort.

The walk is tough but in order to make it a real challenge we will be walking it in 3 days! We will travel up to Glasgow on Thursday 4th May 2017 then on the Friday we will head off along Loch Lomond. There will be 2 overnights along the route with us arriving in Fort William on Sunday and after a good nights’ sleep we will head back south on Monday 8th.

The cost for the trip including travel and accommodation will be approximately –

£250.00 for Project Active Tribe people / £300.00 for non Project Active people

We need confirmed numbers along with a £100.00 deposit by 31st December 2016 to allow us to book accommodation.

"I attend lunchtime fitness sessions held by Ben from Project Active with a number of my colleagues. They are a great way to train, adding variety, encouragement and planning to a session, sometimes with a bit of healthy competition and always conducted in a good spirit. As an F1 engineer working with the race and test teams I don't have a lot of time, but I really enjoy the sessions which fit well around work and always feel well thought out. Normally a runner, it's been a plus for me to include other activities in my routine and I always feel I've had a workout."

“I have been using Project Active for PT sessions for about 4 years now. I am far too lazy to exercise off my own bat, and so I need the discipline that Ben provides. My goal is as simple as all-round health and keeping trim, and by doing these sessions, I have, almost without realising it, become fit enough to complete a 90 mile bike ride for charity which I actually thoroughly enjoyed. As a desk-based worker I also find the sessions very good for ensuring I remain mobile. Thoroughly recommended!”

"I have never really been into fitness, even at school I would avoid doing anything more than the bare minimum. I was lucky enough to enjoy a naturally slim figure right through to my mid thirties without doing any proper exercise. Since then the pounds have slowly crept on and earlier this year I decided it was time to do something physical. By chance I heard about Ben’s spinning classes which were being held quite close to where I live. I emailed to check that they were suitable for beginners and attended a trial session. I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was hard! I’ve been attending for about eight weeks now and it’s still hard but with Ben’s encouraging banter I am persevering and getting stronger. In fact I am about to sign up for next season’s sessions so it must be good!"

"Being so tired has rarely made me feel so good!"

- Mark H, Head of Sales (Spring 2013)

"We think that you make the spinning sessions fun while challenging ourselves to work harder! Good variety of music-still waiting for the sixties! Always look forward to the next session. Good social group. Although not always able to attend it is nice to have the option of the extra challenges and boot camps. - Keep it up."
